Abstract

The surface of GaAs(100) and InAs(100) substrates thermally treated in selenium vapor has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and reflection high-energy electron diffraction. Transmission electron microscopy and high-energy electron diffraction data on these heterostructures confirms the epitaxial pseudomorphic growth of the gallium selenide Ga2Se3(100) and indium selenide In2Se3(100) phases with ordered stoichiometric cation vacancies. A model of the atomic structure of the Ga2Se3(100) and In2Se3(100) surfaces is proposed, and the 2 × 2 reconstruction of the GaAs(100) and InAs(100) surfaces after treatment in selenium vapor is discussed within this model.
